Halfway Between 5 and 462

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 462?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=462.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 462, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 462 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 462)/2 = 233.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 462 is 233.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 233.5 and subtract 233.5 from 462 and compare the two numbers:

233.5 - 5 = 228.5
462 - 233.5 = 228.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 228.5 higher than 5 and 228.5 lower than 462. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 233.5 above is correct.
